Reads a bit like we lost on Friday in here.
No need to panic.
I see we did some experimenting with the bench this time around with Walker and Jazz coming on much later.
Winning teams do that, experiment with their bench configurations because they have the confidence to try things.
Unfortunately you could not tell if it would have worked because we lost the main driver of our ruck speed when the bloke was knocked out and looked like he needed a Defibrillator.
May pay off for the finals making the starters play long minutes and extend their gas tanks a bit.
Ford is a Gumby, I agree with that, but Webster knows what he is on about and if you remember he was the outstanding forward in the opening rounds, so there is hope.
He does do a monster load of work, Egan was like that once, and everyone wanted him dropped, good tackler, crap service, no running game, how wrong that turned out to be.
Jazz used to be rubbish. The Warriors can improve players.
CNK should get the eleven days minimum. That was bad.
I thought we missed Buntys defence and grind at the start, stats be dammed, we are more stable when he does his short soak up the fireworks role.
Montoya will return to form, he works too hard not to. At the Moment Metcalfs service or lack thereof is not helping Montoya's edge.
Again...Metcalf will get better. We have such a good coaching system that we need to stick with these players and play them through their struggles till they are better players frankly.
It is different than when you have an SK sticking stubbornly to the same under performers.
These guys are all trying hard, and they are getting good coaching,. we are in year one, we shouldn't be discarding guys till we are really sure there is a better option.
